    Foam brush heads

    Reviews say the hole for the handle has to be tapped to fit the standard foam brush handle. Have you found that to be the case?

    Best way to patch holes in radient heater tube?

    The rest of the pipe is actually in decent shape. This hole is right under where the ceiling bracket was seated and it has a hole just where the bracket touches. Bracket was moved so maybe it wasn't tight and was rubbing on that spot.

    Best way to patch holes in radient heater tube?

    I have Ultimate heaters hanging in my IBA's and one of them developed a hole in the long tube. I was wondering what the best way to patch it is? Could I use something like muffler tape? The hole is about 1"x 2".

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Is there a place online that I can buy an amplifier or other Airlift parts? I haven't found any and my local distributor take a while to respond sometimes.

    Pet Peeve: Crime --

    Almost 11 years with no stringing attempts, and now twice in a month. They didn't get anything, but they still try.

    Radius issue - Arm rotating randomly and hitting car.

    I had the same exact issue. After replacing prox switches and ultrasonics and all kinds of other random stuff, turned out it was a broken boom wire. It was making and breaking depending and having issues when it went back further for longer cars. Was able to bypass the bad wire using a spare...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Originally my TF exit would stay open occasionally. I swapped the amplifier from my TF bay with my soft gloss bay. The TF bay still stayed open occasionally, while I didn't have any issues with the SG bay. Eventually I changed the sensitivity level on the amplifier on the TF bay, and it has...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    That would explain it, but I didn't see anyone else come afterwards. Entrance opening when a wash finishes is what it should do if another wash was loaded, and the exit opening after a few minutes lines up with the same theory. I guess it could have happened somehow, but that won't explain why...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    What would wiring those inputs to wiere #19 do? I'm not familiar with how it works at all. On another note, entrance doors opening on it's own aside, now my exit door on the soft gloss keeps randomly staying over after a wash. Same thing the exit door on my TF used to do. I'm pretty sure I...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    I was just about to post here lol. I do not have Ryko coinboxes. There are thermostats that control the doors opening and closing. Not sure how else they communicate. I did just have an interesting situation though. Got an alert that my exit door was open. Checked the cameras, and both the...

    Warming Jacket for 30 and 55 gal pails?

    My JBS products stay around 45 degrees and never had a single issue. ER probably goes as low as 40 sometimes. Nothing has ever jelled or frozen.

    raspberry Pi for Carwash

    I'm using an Arduino to control my doors and floor heat. Works great. Just added control to my 2 entrance doors today so that I dont' have to drive down to shut them when they stay open for no reason.

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Good point on using the stop button. I should have done that last night instead of turning the air off. The way I shut the IBA's down is to just use the schedule option in my portal units. I had scheduled them to shut down for about a day and a half, so a message will pop up on the screen...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Both doors is what makes it harder to figure out. Earlier this year both doors opened, but it turned out that someone bought a wash and then changed their mind. That instance the entrance door opened first, then it seems after the wash timed out the exit door opened. Other than that, once I...

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Tonight both the entrance and exit doors to my soft gloss opened for no reason. I had actually shut the bay down due to weather, and while it would have worked fine, I didn't want to risk a door not closing. Instead, I washed 0 cars and the doors opened anyway! No idea why. After closing...

    Windshield washer fluid or RV anti freeze?

    I have smart things sensors that monitor my two exit doors and they saved me tonight. Both doors to one of my IBA's opened for no reason and I got a text. Was able to close one remotely, had to drive out to close the other. If it wasn't for the sensors, I wouldn't have noticed until I...

    How to inject antifreeze into lines?

    I don't use flojets anywhere, so that small pump sounds like a great idea to get by. Only problem I have now is that I hadn't planned on it before it got cold, so I don't have a port ready to inject the air or WW fluid. With it being cold and the weep running, I can't shut things down to add a...

    How to inject antifreeze into lines?

    I think I like the flojet idea most as I would rather have it setup to be convenient. For tonight I just blew air through my TF lines with nothing else and will see if they freeze up. Guess it's never too late to be prepared for the worst. Been five years since it was this cold and before...

    How to inject antifreeze into lines?

    My system adds water from the holding tank to the presoak, so that wouldn't work. I guess I could get a procon pump to work, but I would have to run power to it.

    How to inject antifreeze into lines?

    Any way to inject antifreeze into the HP lines without a flojet? I don't use those at my washes, so no spares lying around and I don't have time to order one now.
